Profile:
In a career cut short by the ill-health that eventually led to his premature
death, Joe Hunter kept wicket for his native Yorkshire, and for England. He
debuted for Yorkshire in 1878, and was a first-rate keeper, although not
quite of the calibre of some of his contemporaries. He toured Australia in
1884-85, and played in all five Tests. He kept tidily and in the 2nd Test
helped Briggs put on 98 for the last wicket, an important contribution to an
England win in a closely-fought series. By 1888, however he dropped out of
the first-class game (replaced in the Yorkshire XI by his brother David),
and he died three years later, in his 34th year (DL 2001).
